Dorset sheep, named after the county of Dorset in southwestern England, have a rich history rooted in their wool-producing capabilities. The breed's origins can be traced back as early as the 12th century. Initially, Dorset sheep were primarily bred for their meat and milk production. However, their wool qualities were recognized and appreciated over time. Dorset wool, a medium staple length, is known for its softness, fineness, resilience and durability. The fleece can range in color from pure white to creamier shades.

Dyer’s Notes on Care: Complete your project (any indigo on your hands will wash right off). Next, give your finished project a nice warm soapy bath. Rinse until clear. Your project is now stable and will not present further dye migrating issues.
